Automation workflows have transformed our IT, enabling secure just-in-time access control
We work with them quite often, so we have a direct line regarding areas in Torq that have room for improvement. If we have a feature request, we can request it. I do not have anything in mind at the moment. We were a design partner for a short while, so we feel that they listen and that users of the system have an impact on the way the system is designed for the better. They have a new community, which is something that I personally suggested years ago. There are many people like me in different places and they might have already built the workflow that I need. Having the option to share workflows or to jump on a thread and say I have this need, did anyone ever build a workflow for it, is amazing. Someone would jump in and say yes, sure, here, take this workflow. I think this is an amazing thing and I really hope that the community will come alive because I think this is really powerful. This is something that I already suggested and it did happen eventually, and I am quite happy with it. I do not have any specific feature in mind that I have a need for at the moment.

Workflow automation has transformed SOC decisions and now manages security workload effectively
At the moment, I have no idea what an improvement can be because my feeling is Blink Ops can be deployed on-site in a hybrid mode or in the cloud. Hybrid mode means more or less the cloud environment running within the cloud. In Switzerland, I have seen quite a few clients where discussions happened and they said they do not want to go to cloud and want to run it on-premises. But the solution is just too big to run on-premises. Having a smaller version on-premises would be helpful, but my feeling is that is hard to achieve because the solution is just too big and too diverse to run on-premises. The other thing is also the support model. Support models normally work if platforms are accessible from outside, but if I need to go within the company and do some modifications on the platform within the company, it is normally just time-consuming. This limits some of the use cases in some clients if they say, okay, we are a nuclear power plant and we do not want anyone coming from outside. At the moment, nothing else comes to my mind because I would say Blink Ops is a comprehensive platform and sometimes I feel people are overwhelmed. Maybe one thing I have had twice now, and I am not sure if this would be a Blink Ops topic or also one of the competitors. On CRM platforms, if someone changes from one CRM platform to the other CRM platform, there are always converters. From one music platform to the other music platform, there are converters. I think that is quite often missing. People struggle and said they had an automation platform or quite often they have seven or several automation platforms and say they want to reduce to, for example, two different platforms and want to get rid of the other ones. But then sometimes it is quite often a redevelopment, especially if it was a no-coding platform and everything is in code. Then normally it requires a huge transformation project. I think really helping the clients understand what the other platform does and then maybe on this level, just having the wizard would be fine. But my feeling is that migrating from one platform to the other is quite difficult.

Automated threat hunting has reduced investigation time and now improves incident visibility
We have not tested in that manner because when comparing with the competition product CrowdStrike, Purple AI and CrowdStrike are pretty good and more or less equal in the way of responding to a query. On the technical side, I can compare Purple AI with CrowdStrike's threat intelligence. CrowdStrike was initially a breach investigation company and was in the Indian market well before SentinelOne, acquiring more significant ground. We have used Charlotte AI, which is provided by CrowdStrike, the direct competitor of SentinelOne. These two have key differences. Charlotte AI focuses more on IOAs and IOCs, whereas Purple AI helps us query the logs and hunt threats. As an improvement, if SentinelOne could focus on IOA similar to what CrowdStrike is giving, that would be a good point. They could feed information on IOA, such as based on attackers, what different attack groups are performing the attacks, and provide those insights. Compared to its competition, for doing DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response), not only IOCs are needed but also IOAs. Information about the indication of the attacker, who is attacking, and the attacker group history would be better if Purple AI could incorporate that. We can build some queries and automated responses for any suspicious or malicious conditions. It would be better if there were workflows in place for giving alerts. The way alerts are handled could be improved because when compared to other competing products, I am able to handle the technique of the threat and categorize it based on severity. If it has a major impact on the environment, I can contain the system. I have numerous options to create various kinds of alerts.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"As an analyst, it has demonstrated potential to reduce workforce requirements and time needed for related activities."
"Using that one piece of AI, we auto-closed 511 cases in quarter four alone."
"Once I started to use the system and I saw the potential, it changed all of our work in IT."
"Since we started working with Torq, I am handling much fewer alerts, it is becoming really easy for me to handle an alert, I have all the information that I need, I do not need to connect to different vendors to receive this information, and the main thing I got from Torq is time, which now helps me to build another automated system and learn."
"What I appreciate most about Torq is that it is an essential part of our system."
"If I review about 100 vendors that I might work with, Torq is definitely in the top five that gave me personally investment back, just because every bit of effort I put into Torq eventually became a workflow that gave it back to me."
"Torq's unified platform approach to AI, SOAR, automation, and case management is superior compared to my experience managing multiple point solutions."
"Any request that comes in, regardless of how complex it is, I can accomplish it with Torq."
"I would say Blink Ops has probably the best technical support of all my vendors."
"I really appreciate the accuracy of prompt engineering and the GUI that Blink offers, as it allows us to evaluate before testing exactly how the workflow will look."
"Purple AI provides availability and ensures that all threat detection and response are available in a single platform."
"Purple AI has been integrated with the SentinelOne Singularity tool, and it helps us significantly with security alerts."
"Detection-wise, Purple AI has reduced my investigation and response times by half, approximately fifty percent."
"In terms of visibility, Purple AI gives great performance; since it provides much deeper visibility, we are able to respond to an attack in reduced time."
"Purple AI integrated with threat hunting has helped me a lot in most incident response situations."
"It has been a very good product."
"The barrier to entry is lowered significantly, and also the speed is improved."
 

Cons

"Even now, we have workflows that are in production that use AI steps and I get different results, making it unusable to some degree."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"Regarding stability, I have noticed some lagging, crashing, and downtime, which is one of my largest gripes."
"The initial deployment of Torq was not easy."
"It was able to capture data but was unable to differentiate between the agent hostname we are using and the hostname that resides on the back end of the Internet."
"Regarding the pricing of Torq, I would say it is expensive."
"We have MCP that we are working with our cloud security platform, and we wanted to connect this MCP to the case management."
"At the moment, nothing else comes to my mind because I would say Blink Ops is a comprehensive platform and sometimes I feel people are overwhelmed."
"The current LLM in Blink is quite accurate, but it still requires a lot of optimization because after a few prompts, it starts creating random responses, which sometimes is problematic."
"There are potentially areas that have room for improvement to make Purple AI better, such as comprehension of the questions."
"There is a significant gap for automation."
"The only concern related to pricing is the ingestion-based pricing model, which is higher at scale."
"Sometimes Purple AI provides too generic responses for complex alerts, particularly at levels classified as high or critical."
"There is a significant gap for automation."
"Coming to Purple AI, it is quite good compared to CrowdStrike Charlotte AI. Charlotte AI gives a very good threat overview, whereas Purple AI lacks that."
"For SMBs, it is quite expensive."
